 One, two, three, mmm. Welcome back guys to part four. In this part, we are going to develop a fusion lick or a melody in the right hand, like a very short phrase over two bars, which will complement the bass riff we've already learned. And if you are, if you stumbled on this video without having watched the earlier parts, do consider heading over and watch that, especially part one, which will teach you the bass riff, which is on eighth notes. I've taught it with notation very slowly in the earlier part, so do consider watching that. So now let's look at this lick, which is more on the fusion kind of vibe. Now why do I call it a fusion lick? Because the pentatonic scales, which are not major or minor pentatonic, end up being very eastern in nature. You'll get a very Indian vibe. And the scale I've used is one, three, four, five, seven flat, so you could say it's a subset of the Mixolydian scale, which is a major scale with a flat seven. But this is like a pentatonic for the most part, Sagama Pani, one, three, four, five, seven flat. Just get used to that scale and the fingers, I'm trying to use all my five fingers, so it becomes a very good finger drill. There's going to be some crossing, there's going to be some accent, so it'll be a very good finger exercise or drill to, or lick to master in the right hand. And then independence, because you'll have to also get this lick over this riff, okay? So make sure you have got some of the earlier parts before coming to this part. The earlier parts get you that pulse and the basic coordination strategies of both hands. Fine, over to the lick. So the lick is on this subset scale, one major, third, perfect, fourth, perfect, five, minor, seventh, okay, very nice to improvise. Okay, right, so I'm going to first demonstrate the lick with a simple pulse in the left hand, not the bass line we learned earlier, but just, okay, over to the lick, slower, so let me phrase this and count it for you, one knee and a two and three and four and let's first get that and the hand position is very simple. It's just thumb on E, index on G sharp, middle finger on A, ring finger on B and pinky on D. So let's first do just that bar one and keep repeating. The same five fingers, if you can with that bass line of earlier, so that's a 16. You try to make up like something with your mouth or just develop a phrase so you can remember it, you know, over time, okay, moving on, let's stop that till the G sharp. If you're not getting the groove in the bass or the riff in the bass, you can do a simple pulse. One more time. Try to be able to sing. The intervals, okay, now let's look at that fast semi-quaver run which comes at the second bar of the lick which goes first bar now and that was the second bar. Okay, that's a collection of how many notes, 12 notes. So you go. Let's do that with a simple pulse. What's the lick again? Only that fast part. 3, 4, 1 and 2 and 1 and and the G sharp comes in at the end of the one. So if you think about it, there's some interesting accents going on. So lines up very well at the end, right? So the fast semi-quaver run comes in at B2 of the bar. 1 and 2, 1 and 2. So the first phrase, practice that separately and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and back. Let me now break down that super fast 16th note semi-quaver lick which I did at the end of the tune. So the basic tune was that part. Let's break that down. So that actually is an accented phrase. It's accented in well 3, 3, then a 2 and then a 4. So you can learn it as first 1 and 2. The accented run starts at the 2 of bar 2. So 1 and try that first and 2 and 1 and 2 and then the next segment. 1 and 2 and 3. That's at the end of the 3. And 2 and 3. Let's do the first half of that run. 1 and 2 and 3. So that's a good way to practice these things in smaller phrases. 1 and 2 and that's how we are counting or 1 and up to you, 3 and so first part of the run. 1 and 2 and 3. Stop there. Just only do that. Second half. 1 and 2 and 3. At the end of the 3. 1 and 2 and 3. So putting it together and 1 and 3 and 2 and 3 and 2 and 3 and 2 and 3 and 2 and 3 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 1. Let's now put it together. 1, 2, 3, 4, 1 and 2 and 3 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 1 and 1 and then that. 1 and 1 and then Pulse in the left. 1 and 1 and sorry after the 1 and after the end of the 1 and on of the 2 and 2 3 4 1 and so now putting it all together what did we do earlier that's become a distant memory fingering let me try and help you try to bring back your thumb for the next loop of the the the lick so okay so start with the pulse and then get your lick as slow as possible if you wish do it as slow as possible if you wish at the speed you are comfortable with and then take it whatever speed you can play or achieve at the moment or enjoy at the moment so the ultimate goal would be to get this bass riff from the left with the fusion lick in the right which we've just invested a lot of time in put them together somehow that's the eventual goal right guys so that was about the fusion lick on the piano along with the bass riff the bass riff you could say is very classic rock but the fusion lick you find that more in an Indian song I guess or in a more Eastern song so we've had four variations in this four part series first part we just looked at the pulse very day tripper Beatles calls B D E B C sharp B then we looked at accented arpeggios part 2 then we looked at a glam rock or a chord inversion movement following the plagal keep following the plagal cadence and last but not least we did the lick with the bass riff if you can't get the lick with the bass riff just get it with the pulse and over time get both into that turnaround also right so to organize your learning better you could consider getting the notes on patreon it's organized variation one variation two variation three variation four that will support our channel as well so do head over to our patreon channel and you'll get the notes for this entire series as well as every other lesson and series we've done in the past present and future as well right and if you'd like to learn music at our school do consider visiting Nathaniel school.com checking out some of the courses we have video courses we have online courses we have some offline stuff as well coming up very very soon you could also become a member on YouTube by hitting that join button that will give you access to a lot of our private vault of organized lessons which a lot have found very useful and as always continue to support our channel by leaving us a comment letting us know what you'd like to learn next or sharing your work with us on Instagram that's a great way where you can connect with us record a video put it up on your post or stories and share it with either Nathaniel school or Jason Zach we'll definitely have a look at it and it'll encourage us as well to know that you folks are actually doing what we are explaining in these lessons right connect with us on whichever platform you could fill up a form which will allow us to get in touch with you for regular workshops we can add you to the database where regular updates could be shared and stuff like that give the video a like give it a share with all your musician friends we'd like more people on our channel it'll be great if you can help us out and as always this is Jason Zach from Nathaniel school of music cheers stay awesome catch you soon
